I guess trying to apply a political template from the the 1770-80s to today's present politics makes no sense either. We should just forget about what the founders thought and stood for and embrace our new socialistisc big government. It is obvious that no people anywhere have the right to declare themselves free from a government they don't like. It must not be a fundamental right anymore. It was wrong for the south to seceed and form its own governemnt, so it must have ben terribly wrong for the states of the former Soviet Union to leave the USSR too. And it must have been wrong for Panama to seceed from Colombia. And of course the Founders of this country were wrong to seceed from Britain.
Look bud. Either secession is a fundamental right as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence or it is not. If the South was wrong for seceeding and had no right to seceed, than the colonies had no right to leave Britain, Texas had no right to leave Mexico, the former states of the soviet union had no right to leave the USSR, and Panama had no right to leave Columbia, and south sudan has no right to leave north Sudan (as they are trying to do right now). Which is it?
big corporations want to bulldozer it all over and make ‘em into Walmarts and Marriot Hotels. You okay with that?
Of course not. But that is not what we are arguing about. You are just using a red herring to attack others because you cannot come up with a real comeback to the facts and principles stated.
The Declaration isn’t a binding legal document. It’s a statement of intent. The Constitution is a legal document, bud. And what is particularly you don’t like about this system? Barack Obama not withstanding.
No it isn’t a ‘’red herring ‘’ pal, trust me. Your entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.
